Clinical Outcomes of Patients with LI-RADS 3 or LI-RADS 4 Observations in Patients with Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review. LR-3 and 4 observations have elevated but variable risk of HCC. Higher quality studies are necessary to identify high-risk patients who warrant close CT or MRI-based follow-up. |

Insulin or blood purification treatment for hypertriglyceridaemia-associated acute pancreatitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Our findings support the general use of IT for inpatient management of HTG-AP, restricting BPT to those predicted or found to respond poorly to IT. |
Optimal initial diet in mild acute pancreatitis: A comprehensive meta-analysis of randomized control trials. Our meta-analysis shows that initiation of FSD reduces total LOHS in patients with mild AP and does not increase post refeeding abdominal pain. Though additional high-quality studies are needed, these findings support initial solid diet for AP and consideration of feeding within the first 24 h. |

Lactose-reduced infant formula with corn syrup solids and obesity risk among participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). CSSF issuance is associated with increased obesity risk in the first 5 y life in a dose dependent manner, independently of maternal weight status, breastfeeding duration, and total formula issuance. |

Early Experiences with Developing Techniques for Pure Laparoscopic Explant Hepatectomy in Living Donor Liver Transplantation. All 10 patients were followed up at outpatient clinics, and only 1 out of the 10 patients had a late complication of LDLT. This study has shown that the minimally invasive approach in LDLT may be conducted safely without significant complications if it is performed by highly experienced surgeons working in high-volume centers. |
Outcomes of Acute Liver Failure patients listed for Liver Transplantation: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Analysis. Post-LT outcomes for ALF are excellent in this cohort of very ill patients. The development of multi-organ failure whilst on the transplant list and APAP ALF etiology were associated with a lower likelihood of successful receipt of LT. |

Concordance of EUS and MRI/MRCP findings among high-risk individuals undergoing pancreatic cancer screening. Worrisome pancreatic lesions were uncommon in our high-risk pancreatic cancer population and were detected by both EUS and MRI/MRCP. There was mild discordance with respect to less worrisome findings, but these discrepancies were not associated with any adverse clinical outcomes. |
Integrative transcriptomic analysis identifies a novel gene signature to predict prognosis of pancreatic cancer in different subtypes. The integrative transcriptomic analysis identifies a consensus gene signature that can discriminate pancreatic cancer subtypes and determine patient prognosis by evaluating the genomic reprogramming and the level of immune infiltration profile in pancreatic cancer. |
Intraductal pressure in experimental models of acute and chronic pancreatitis in mice. During ERCP, the elevations in pancreatic intraductal pressure are induced by increasing rate or viscous solution of infusion. During different forms of experimental acute and chronic pancreatitis, obstructive or non-obstructive etiologies of pancreatitis also induces the elevations in pancreatic intraductal pressure. |

Coronary artery stent for securing pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis after PD: The "Huscher technique". To a certain extent, we think that the "Medici Effect" can be applied in any field; more specifically we applied this concept in pancreatic surgery. So, may we borrow coronary stents from cardiology to settle pancreatic-jejunostomy (PJ) issues after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD)? |
